Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized profession that assembles, adjusts, and inspects precision optical instruments.
Description
Optical machinery adjustment workers handle adjustment, inspection, and assembly of optical machinery such as microscopes, telescopes, interferometers, and optical projection devices. Based on drawings and specifications, they position lenses and mirrors, perform optical axis adjustment, and manage tolerances, using measuring instruments (micrometers, dial gauges, interferometers, etc.) to ensure micron-order precision. Work may be performed in controlled environments like clean rooms, where hygiene management is important to prevent dirt or minute foreign matter from affecting optical performance. They are specialized technicians responsible for quality control, troubleshooting, maintenance, and other processes in production sites or R&D departments.
Future Outlook
With the increasing demand for high-performance optical devices such as smartphones, medical equipment, and semiconductor exposure equipment, the demand for high-precision adjustment technicians is steadily expanding.
